The S4 Finance and Enterprise are studying Enterprise and Employability as part of their course work. They have to organise events to show that they are enterprising and can work together individually and together as a group.
They decided that they would organise the sale of Ubuntu cola as their Enterprise task.
The first step was to ask permission from Senior Management. Two of the pupils decided to make an appointment to see the Head teacher and ask for his permission rather than write to him.
They then decided to put together their order and approached the member of the Support Staff who is responsible for orders in both HE and the school in general.
They decided to write it out in pretty pink pen and gave it to her to order.
They decided that they would also sell Dubble bars as if their order was over £60 they would get free delivery.
They then approached the teacher in HE to ask if they could store the cola in the fridges so that it would be cold when they sold it.
They then had to organise a float with one of the office staff so that it would be picked up on the morning of the sale.
They all turned up and sold the cola and dubble bars within 10 minutes.
